The Paris Review No. 214

Fall 2015

Eileen Myles on the art of poetry: “People loved to talk about how Frank O’Hara didn’t really care about getting published. That doesn’t jibe with my experience.” Jane Smiley on the art of fiction: “There weren’t too many books by women that were taught in school, so I read those on my own, and the books I read were as accessible as the ones we were reading in school.”
